Infertile Millennial

By Emily Orlando

Infertility happens - and it sucks. Welcome to Infertile Millennial! A place to talk about all things infertility, fertility treatments, pregnancy loss, and surviving your fertility journey. When I first opened up about my fertility journey, I was flooded with messages from women all over sharing their fertility struggles and it opened my eyes to see how many women & couples were struggling with the same issues. That's where Infertile Millennial was born - a space for those struggling or those who want to educate themselves on all things infertility.
